ReadyNAS NVX Business Edition User Manual Figure 2-21 You are asked to confirm your intention by typing DELETE VOLUME. Figure 2-22 Adding a Volume After deleting the volume, Add Volume tab displays listing the available configurable space on the hard disks. All the disks are selected by default. You can elect to specify a hot spare disk if you wish. A hot spare remains in standby mode and automatically regenerates the data from a failed disk from the volume. A hot spare disk is available for RAID level 1 and RAID level 5 only if there are enough disks to fulfill the required minimum plus one. . Figure 2-23 To add a volume: 1. Select the hard disks. In this example, we select the first three disks and elect not to specify any of them as a hot spare. 2. Select the RAID level. RAID level determines how the redundancy, capacity utilization, and performance are implemented for the volume. Typically in a configuration of three or more disks, RAID level 5 is recommended. In our example, we selected RAID level 5 for the three selected disks. 2-18 Setting Up and Managing Your ReadyNAS NVX v1.1, February 2009
